The Wall Has Got Eyes and Ears
Who speaks does indeed lie,
Who does not, surely knows more,
But keeps silent by fear to die,
The Walls have ears,
To listen and hear,
The brother became a foe to testify,
A brother sells a brother,

New Years Day 2016
Commodities calmly caressing. Calling carrots. Calling capers. Calamity is not an injested window wiper nor a window sill so dare to jump off a pinnacle to declare justice. Arachnid akmed. Duty done. Swerved to serve....

The Wabi-Sabi of Tintern Abbey
Things bloom more beautiful when breaking down.
The nave now ploughs through foams of flowering trees,
a frozen caravel. Kissed by the breeze,
the river surface suddenly seems to frown
exquisitely. The apse’s jaunty crown
of weeds above one...

Events That Have Not Happened Yet and Other Feelings of Anxiety About Impending Doom
In three billion years the sun dies, Earth with it and the ring around Saturn too.
When will the apple fall?
Will it fall close or roll?
The apple rots eventually, the tree forgets and fly’s brains are...

A Winter Wombats Tale
One time wombat shudders. It was very cold today and a kilt, cape, and long length knitted cloak just was not providing sufficient heat. Must buy some socks he thought. Then wandering around he found...

Mystery 4 Rent
I find myself currently rented out
by the mystery
Of a a so called smart watch
Digitally imposed hand's rocking

If I had a factory I would actually produce nothing at all because
Satisfaction can never be mass produced let alone happiness
Workers would not manufacture for their hands should be free
To craft rather than assemble in...

Catastrophe
Billy was a burglar, of the feline type,
he'd pussyfoot around at night to see what he could swipe.
But one day he felt the pinch, if you'll excuse the pun,
for the local coppers had a blitz...

Climbing Depth
Gravity pulls the sun below the horizon
Dragged to depths of darkness
Shadows widespread screaming and attacking
Compressing me to depressed
Murky depths
Sniffs that tease light
Coughs echoing fears
In a pitch black night
Enclosed within my tears
They close in inch...

and reach out to give him a cuddle.

A London Stage For Chuck
There is always a way, the optimist says,
Yet the creak of life’s tensions groan low,
They shadow the quake that the floor he walks makes,
And the air as it travels says so.
See the mist pale...

Who is Sod and what’s this law

Mend your car engine, drop your spanner

Perfectly aligned beneath the middle of the truck

Mr Sewerman
Grunt grunt below the gutter
The man of the sewer works
With his big old rusty spanner
He twists the pipes, the nuts and bolts
That struggle to hold the metal that jolts
The rats and roaches scamper...
